Taruho asked everyone to sit down again.
The maids, still shaken from their earlier panic, carefully gathered up the wreckage of the building damaged in the battle.
The shrine maiden maintained her indifferent expression, only occasionally glancing at Shinsei out of the corner of her eye.
Shinsei and his friends repelled an enemy attack, which gave her some hope of breaking free from her fate. Was it because of him? The boy she hadn't foreseen?
Shinsei was oblivious to the occasional glimpses of the shrine maiden beside him. He was reflecting on his own actions. Since his transmigration, despite occasional setbacks, Shinsei had generally enjoyed a smooth and successful life.
Especially since he began meditating, his mental strength has grown stronger day by day, giving him unparalleled control over Chakra. In a sense, a strong mind makes one naturally suited to casting Genjutsu.
However, due to the lack of a Shinsei to teach him tactics, and considering that Genjutsu were no match for him in the later parts of the original story, he somewhat underestimated Genjutsu.
Even after acquiring the Sharingan and obtaining some information Sharingan it from Sasuke Uchiha, he still didn't take Genjutsu seriously.
Shisui Uchiha just taught him an important lesson.
He thought he was immune to Genjutsu with his mental strength, but when he actually faced a master of Genjutsu, he was easily "taught a lesson".
The fact that Genjutsu techniques) has a place in the Shinobi World means that this power is definitely not as weak as imagined. In fact, it could be said that, to some extent, Genjutsu even has a special advantage against enemies.
Of course, to be fair, Shisui Uchiha just now only wanted to use Genjutsu to control Shinsei. If he wanted to use this opportunity to kill Shinsei, that would be a different story.
This is also because Shinsei doesn't have much experience with enemy Genjutsu. In the past, even if the enemies could use Genjutsu, they didn't have a chance to do so in the face of Shinsei's speed.
The energetic Naruto, along with his many Shadow Clone that had not yet dissipated, discussed cleaning up the ruins left behind by everyone's battle.
This kind of rough work was naturally suitable for Naruto, this "big fool." But before he could do much work, his stomach started rumbling.
Because we've been traveling for the past two days without much rest or food, from meeting with Samui and the others to arriving here to find the shrine maiden, we haven't stopped for a moment, and now we're all starving.
Taruho stood up and said to everyone, "I'm very sorry that our guests are hungry. Please follow me. This place is no longer elegant and is not suitable for entertaining you."
Upon hearing Taruho's words, the Priestess Shion stood up first and walked towards the passageway to the side. Taruho invited everyone to join her.
At this moment, even Naruto had stopped thinking about rescuing Killer B; he felt like he could eat 10 bowls of ramen right now.
In the Land of Demons, the status of a shrine maiden is equivalent to that of a ruler, so although her residence is called a shrine, it is actually designed like a palace.
After walking through a long corridor, the group arrived at another spacious hall. Several small tea tables were placed on both sides of the hall, and they were already filled with food.
Naruto sat cross-legged next to the coffee table without any hesitation, picked up the food on it, and started eating.
Seeing Naruto's state, Kakashi said to Taruho beside him, "I'm very sorry, they are usually quite polite."
Taruho waved her hand slightly. "Don't worry about it. Your team members have been fighting the enemy for so long, they must be starving. How can you say they've been impolite?"
As they were talking, Shinsei sat cross-legged next to a small tea table, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat by himself.
Kakashi was about to explain when Taruho, standing nearby, gave him a thumbs-up. " Lord Shinsei, a true hero! Look how dashing his movements are!"
Shinsei was naturally unaware of what Kakashi and Taruho were whispering about, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared much.
Ordinary people would be disliked for smacking their lips while eating, but if Napoleon smacked his lips while eating, people around him would praise Napoleon for his heroic demeanor.
Shinsei was eating by himself when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the shrine maiden sitting next to him wasn't eating either, and kept glancing at him.
Shinsei looked himself over but found nothing unusual.
"My lady, is there something wrong with me? Or has a prophecy been made about me?"
The shrine maiden gently shook her head, tossing her long, pale golden hair, and looked earnestly at Shinsei with her beautiful eyes, saying:
"I still don't have any prophecies about you. I'll tell you if I do. Is that Eight-Tails Jinchuriki one of your comrades?"
"Yes, Lady Shrine Maiden. Do you have any information about him?"
Please don't call me "Miya-sama" anymore; you can call me by my name if you prefer.
My name is Shion. The Jinchūriki named Killer B Jinchūriki, as I foretold, did not fall into the hands of Moryo. However, his Eight-Tails Chakra still aided Moryo.
Shinsei recalled Killer B's tactic of severing its tail to escape, and believed that what the priestess said was true.
However, now that he was out, Raikage on the reward he was promised, regardless Killer B whether he was alright or not.
" Shion." Shinsei called out the shrine maiden's name. He didn't necessarily have to be so obnoxious as to call someone "sir," especially since the shrine maiden in front of him was probably around his age.
"Didn't those enemies call their leader ' Yomi' before? How come there's another 'Moryo' here?"
The indifference that had been there at the beginning was gone from Shion's face; she now had more of the expression of a little girl.
"Moryo is the name of a demon."
Yomi was a follower of the last time the Moryo was resurrected. The current Moryo should be possessing Yomi's body.
"I see." Shinsei nodded. He sorted out some information; he couldn't remember much of it in his previous life, and had only seen some fragments.
"Why did the monster come to capture you?" Shinsei asked again.
"That's what Taruho replied."
"Because only a priestess can reseal a demon, it will definitely want to get rid of her."
Shinsei has reservations about the idea that monsters can only be sealed by priestesses.
However, since they hadn't seen any of the so-called monsters, Shinsei couldn't refute their claims.
Of course, to be on the safe side, it's best to have the priestess in front of them perform the sealing. Since this has been the way it's been for a thousand years, Shinsei doesn't want to cause any more trouble.
He couldn't waste his time here. If it weren't for discovering Danzo's whereabouts and Shisui Uchiha, Shinsei would have already turned and left when he learned that Killer B was alright.
As for the trouble here, once Konoha issues a mission, the appropriate ninjas will naturally come to handle it.
"We can't just sit here and wait for the enemy to come knocking. Since you can seal the monster, let's go find it and reseal it."
